ICHTHYOLOGICAL COLLECTIONS OF THE ALBATROSS. 465 
Family ARGENTINIDZ. The Smelts. 
_ 13. Leuroglossus stilbius Gilbert. (Plate 34.) 
Stations 3126 and 3188; depths 456 and 316 fathoms. In the specimen from 3126 
the mandible has a single series of conical close-set teeth, which work against the 
palatine and vomerine series above. They seem to grow slightly larger laterally. 
_ The tongue seems to have some slight asperities, but no teeth can be detected. 
14. Osmerus thaleichthys Ayres. 
Stations 3099, 3134, 3135, 3136, and 3182, in 17 to 20 fathoms. Our specimens vary 
so much in the curvature of the maxillary and in the length of the paired fins that 
_ Iam unable to recognize O. attenuatus as a distinct species. The head is 4 in length, 
_ and the anal contains 18 or 19 rays in two specimens which differ widely in the 
' curvature of the maxillary. 
Family STERNOPTYCHIDZ. 
15. Sternoptyx diaphana Hermann. Stations 3127 and 3188; depths 418 and 316 
fathoms. 
FPamily CHAULIODONTIDA. The Viper Fishes. 
16. Chauliodus macouni Bean. Stations 3127, 3128, and 3201; depths 280 to 627 
fathoms. 
17. Cyclothone microdon (Giinther). Station 3127; depth 418 fathoms. 
Family SYNGNATHIDZ. The Pipefishes. 
18. Siphostoma californiense (Storer). Monterey and at station 3141; depth 24 
fathoms. 
Family AULORHYNCHIDZ. 
19. Aulorhynchus flavidus Gill. Monterey. 
FPamily ATHERINIDA. The Silversides. 
_ 20. Atherinopsis californiensis Girard. California Smelt; Pescado del Rey. Mon- 
terey. 
21. Atherinops affinis (Ayres). Little Smelt; Pescadillo del Rey. Santa Barbara and 
Drake Bay. Dorsal fin with 6 or 7 spines, 52 to 56 series of scales, and 4 
rows between lateral line and base of first dorsal. 
22. Atherinops insularum Gilbert. Two typical specimens from Drake Bay, with 
62 to 68 scales in lateral line and 5 dorsal spines. It is possible that inter- 
mediate forms will be found and the species proved untenable. 
Family BERYCIDZ. 
23. Melamphaes cristiceps Gilbert. Station 3127; depth 418 fathoms. 
Family ECHENEIDIDZ. 
24. Remora remora (Linneus). Remora; Sucker. Three specimens from Santa 
Barbara. 
Family SCIZ{NIDZA. The Croakers. 
25. Genyonemus lineatus (Ayres), Litile Roncador. Stations 3099, 3100, 3132, 3134, 
and 3136; depths 7 to 33 fathoms.
